While the eyes of the football world are on Indianapolis, TheBrownsFan
remains hard at work. He is hunkered down inside a non-descript, windowless
building deep within the BerniesInsiders.com Technology Campus in Cleveland,
Ohio. If you were able to get past the intense security apparatus we've
established, you would see...
Alone in a darkened room, a young man stares at a computer monitor. The only
sounds you can hear are the soft whir of the cooling fans of the bank of
computers on the wall behind him. Dim red LED lights and the glow of monitors
are the only illumination, but it's enough to see that the man has a head
painted half-orange, half-brown. He is wearing orange shoes as well.
Occasionally, the young man can be heard to mutter things like "ADP trends
normal".
Suddenly, there is a loud "Ah Ha!!", and the added whir of a laser printer
starting to hum. "I have it! They are all fused into one!". The man bolts from
the room.
Then, the next day, this article appears.
TheBrownsFan has done it again, dawgs. He has successfully fused 32 mock
drafts into a single picture of what draft wonks (anointed or self-appointed)
feel the 2004 draft will look like.

The 32 mock drafts are again suggesting that Shawn Andrews will be the Browns
pick, but support is fading somewhat as the mocks mention eight different
players as possible picks. Andrews is the Browns selection in fifteen of the
mock drafts.
Kellen Winslow, Jr now has seven selections at the Browns spot (always, for
some reason, assumed to be the 8th pick). The third most selected player is
Robert Gallery, who falls to the Browns in three mock drafts. Also listed as
possible selections for the Browns (number of mocks in parentheses) are: Roy
Williiams (2), Tommie Harris (2), Ben Roethlisberger(1), Sean Taylor (1), and
linebacker DJ Williams (1).
According to the Mock Draft Muncher, the top ten picks in this year's draft
will be (drumroll please)...
1. San Diego / Eli Manning
2. Oakland / Larry Fitzgerald
3. Arizona / Ben Roethlisberger
4. NY Giants / Robert Gallery
5. Washington / Kellen Winslow
6. Detroit / Sean Taylor
7. Atlanta / Tommie Harris
8. Browns / Shawn Andrews
9. Jacksonville / Roy Williams
10. Houston / Kenechi Udeze
